Jason's iPhone application iVideoCamera is the second best selling application in iTunes. It was number one for over a week, generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales for him and his brother's mobile company Laan Labs.

However, he and other developers haven't been able to find similar success in Google's Android Market.

Compared to the Android Market, Jason says "Apple is ten fold better." At first he preferred the Google marketplace, but now he thinks it is sloppy. "Three Android apps on my phone are broken. If were Apple, it would be fixed. Google has been sloppy."

In December, wireless firm Skyhook Wireless produced a report about developer frustration with Android. Skyhook interviewed 30 mobile application developers and concluded, "developers are not generating real revenue via Android apps." As a result "developers are becoming hesitant to invest more time and effort into apps that do not pay off."

The majority of developers Skyhook spoke with are not going to put more effort into developing applications.

Similarly, Katy Kelley at marketing agency Carrot Creative tells us, "while brands are inquisitive about the Android, they're not fully willing to make the financial commitment to it. Carrot Creative receives about a 90% demand rate for iPhone apps, and about 10% for the Android... most of which end up not investing in anyway."
